Description

A major characteristic in biology is resilience. We witness in permanence resilience in form of redundancy in biological systems, the human has two kidneys, for example. At the same time biological system are very efficient and do not waste resources. The aim of this talk will be investigate resilience from a system theory and information theory view point and to introduce concepts of fragility and anti-Fragility. Indeed the topic is gigantic and has been investigated thoroughly in the past decades; however the topic is coming back as a hot topic specially with the emergence of network as a major explicative factor of resilience. We will try to describe last developments.
